Greetings all,

I did a foolish thing and installed Windows 95 on my DOS partition,
and it also overwrote the really nifty boot selector that FreeBSD 2.0.5
installed... Sigh...

I removed Win95 (after six hours), but it didn't restore the boot
selector... How can I reinstall it without reinstalling all of
FreeBSD. FreeBSD still boots if I turn the partition active, but
this is a real hassle...

Thanks,
clint

PS Actual command lines to type would be most helpful :)
